So is McKinsey a super back-stabbing culture? We had a partner join our firm- ex McKinsey - and this person seems like a sociopath. Also this person has no skill set I can figure out...

Back stabbing can happen in any firm. Singling out a particular firm is not right.

^ I think OP specified super back stabbing culture because back stabbing is a given in any of these firms.

I'm actually not trying to be vindictive. A number of people have said this person behaves a certain way because they grew up in McKinsey. I'm seriously curious. And.... I worked at deloitte for a long time and now at my very large consulting firm and I've never seen this level of lying, backstabbing, and 2-faced BS from a person.

I haven't seen any backstabbing yet...perhaps that's why the person left?

NYO's known for that. Most other offices (including mine) have an awesome, supportive culture

Interesting....well good to know. It's a good point ....Perhaps that is why this person left ...this person worked at Bain too, but more recently McKinsey...

@OP what firm are you at now?

Let me add I think this person is a sociopath and McKinsey or not - they would be a sociopath. But several people - some who worked there - have told me that back-stabbing culture is encouraged at McKinsey, so just wondering...

Accenture ... I was trying to be avoid calling people out but I did a search and there's enough ex McKinsey MDs in Accenture strategy to disguise this person...And it's not our top leadership FYI ...
